MASTER
PLAN SURVEY
PROCESS

On
Monday, we will be sending out a separate
list server broadcast asking residents to
participate as part of the Master Plan update
survey process.  Please stay tuned for
more information.


“VOICE OF
THE CITIZEN” SURVEY RESULTS FOR DURHAM
PUBLIC WORKS

In April 2011, graduate students from the UNH
Political Science Introduction to Statistical
Analysis course conducted a “Voice of
the Citizen” survey for the Town to
gauge residents’ satisfaction with the
Department of Public Works.  The survey
was similar to surveys of public perceptions
of the Durham Police Department conducted
between 1997 and 2009, and was designed to be
easily replicated for other town departments
in future years.

 

The
survey was administered in two forms,
electronic and paper.  The electronic
version was delivered to the 1900-plus
addresses in the Town’s “Friday
Updates” list server data base via
email.  Additionally, 24 surveys were
administered in person by members of the
statistics class.  Interviews took place
outside the Durham Marketplace, and
participants were selected at random. 
This resulted in a combined total of 233
survey responses that were analyzed for the
study.

 

The
233 survey respondents were represented by
the following
characteristics:

-
67% were over 51 years of age;
- 94% were homeowners;
- Only 2 respondents listed themselves as UNH
students.

 

Survey
Results…

Nearly
38% of respondents reported that the
overall quality of
service
provided by the Public
Works Department was excellent and 46%
reported it was above average.  12%
reported it was average.  3% rated the
quality of service as below average and 1%
rated it as poor. 

 

A
number of survey questions were designed to
determine whether or not respondents believed
the services currently offered by the
department met their needs. 
Interestingly, the survey results show
that a significant majority of respondents
across all age categories believe the public
works department is providing a sufficient
number of services.  Nearly 75%
say that they do not believe any additional
services are needed, and 85% say that they do
not believe any current services should be
cut. 

 

Of
the minority who expressed a desire for
changes to the number or type of services
offered by the department, 61 respondents
called for additional services and 35
suggested cuts.  Enhanced
recycling was the most popular item for those
requesting additional
services.
  Respondents who
asked for enhanced recycling (25% of the
total who called for additional services)
gave suggestions that included “better
electronic waste recycling,”
“pick up plastic and paper recycled
items every week,” “single-stream
recycling,” and “compost
service.”

 


Enhanced waste removal and improved
road maintenance were the two most popular
responses after enhanced
recycling
(18% and 16%
respectively).  Comments from those
asking for enhanced waste removal included,
“weekly yard waste summer and
fall,” “more frequent hazardous
disposal days,” and “dump open
more often.”  There were several
requests for longer hours for the transfer
station as well.

 


Road maintenance was cited by those
wishing for additional services as well as
those who wanted
cuts.
 

 


“Eliminate seasonal clean-up”
and “reduce/eliminate curbside waste
removal” were the next most popular
areas where residents suggested
cuts.
  Comments from
respondents indicated the belief that the
town could save money by reducing or
eliminating these services and that the dump
and/or private pick-up services could be
utilized by those who desires such
services.

  

SPRING
CLEANUP

Department
of
Public
Works crews concluded the 2011 Spring Cleanup
this week.  Residents who did not get
their items out on time may bring them up to
the Transfer Station and Recycling Center
tomorrow during operational hours, 7:30am-
3:00pm.  Remember you must have a valid
2011 permit to enter the facility. 
Thanks to all for their
cooperation.

 


BIDDING OUT
CURBSIDE REFUSE AND RECYCLING
COLLECTION

Durham is one of the very few communities
remaining that has continued to handle
curbside solid waste and recycling collection
with in-house personnel.  Every several
years the Public Works Department has gone
out to bid for solid waste and recycling
collection services but to date the
department has been able to undertake
the collection process more cost-effectively
and at a higher quality than outside contract
providers. 

 

DPW
staff know local residents by name,
consistently manage routes without
interruption or incident, carry dog biscuits
for long-time four legged friends, and
generally do a terrific job providing quality
citizen service. 

 

Given
the very high likelihood that the State of
New Hampshire will be downshifting additional
costs along to local municipalities in an
effort to balance its own budget later this
year to include additional retirement system
costs for public employees, Administrator
Selig has asked the department to move
forward with a bid to once
again ascertain whether Durham continues
to be able to handle solid waste and
recycling curbside collection more
cost-effectively than the private sector, and
if not, what the cost differential would be
between the in-house versus contract out
option. 

 


ALCOHOL COMPLIANCE
CHECKS CONDUCTED BY DURHAM
POLICE

The Durham Police Department routinely
conducts compliance checks of vendors who are
licensed to sell alcoholic beverages in
Durham.  During the first week in May,
another such check was performed with an
underage student, working in conjunction with
the Durham Police Department, who attempted
to purchase alcohol at every location where
alcohol is served in Durham including The
Three Chimney’s Inn as well as
convenience stores such as Irving’s,
Store 24, and Gibbs.  The young person
is trained to provide her/his personal NH
driver’s license which indicates s/he
is in fact under the age of 21. This
should result in an immediate
refusal. The goal of the undertaking is
to confirm that the businesses in Durham are
properly requesting the young person’s
identification and when provided, ensuring
that the identification confirms the person
is in fact of legal age to purchase
alcohol. 

 

Virtually
every criminal action the Durham Police
Department investigates has some foundation
in alcohol consumption.  Consequently,
it is critical the department works to ensure
that businesses are properly confirming the
age and identity of those persons attempting
to purchase alcohol in our
community. 

 

The
results of the compliance checks revealed
that all fourteen locations in Durham
passed. 

 


SALE/REDEVELOPMENT
OF GRANGE – PUBLIC HEARING
MONDAY

In September 2010, the Town advertised a
Request for Proposal for the productive
reuse/redevelopment of the parcel and
structure known as the Grange (H.A. Davis
building) located at 37 Main Street, Durham,
NH 03824 (Tax Map 5, Lot 1-5).  One
proposal was received by the deadline from
Mr. Peter Murphy on November 12, 2010.
 
Since that time the redevelopment project has
been brought to the Historic District
Commission/Heritage Commission, the Economic
Development Committee, and on several
occasions, the Town Council for discussion
and refinement.  The parties have
reached general agreement on terms consistent
with Council dialogue and a public hearing on
the proposal to solicit public input prior to
taking further Council action is set for May
16, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. during the regularly
scheduled Council meeting.
 
Proposed sale price: 
$240,000.
  Assuming a
price $240,000 paid over 5 years secured by a
subordinate 7% mortgage to primary debt, the
town would receive an annual loan payment of
$58,533.77. In addition the town will receive
approximately $45,000 in property taxes
annually based upon an assessed value in the
$1,700,000 range. This transaction would
include the following
items:

  1. Move
    Grange building forward to sidewalk per
    request of HDC;
  2. Three
    workforce housing units as part of
    redevelopment w/ associated
    covenants;
  3. Retail/commercial
    use on first floor front part of Grange w/
    associated covenants;
  4. Restore
    and preserve outside historical look and
    materials of Grange w/ associated
    covenants;
  5. Pedestrian
    enhancements along side of bldg with ROW
    access for general public with maintenance
    and upkeep the responsibility of the new
    property owner;
  6. Student
    housing to rear of Grange structure that is
    convertible to adult housing when the
    market permits; and
  7. One
    universal access (handicapped) apartment
    included.


PUBLIC
HEARING AND ACTION ON ORDINANCE #2011-03
CREATING METERED PARKING FOR THE 21 NEW
PARKING SPACES ALONG PETTEE BROOK
LANE

This ordinance will formalize the control of
parking on the southerly side of Pettee Brook
Lane between Madbury Road and Main Street by
allowing metered fee parking.  In
addition, it will allow for the use of
automated pay and display, pay by space, or
pay by plate parking meters within the
downtown core versus the present coin
operated meters.

 

Upon
passage of this ordinance change, the Master
Fee Schedule will be revised by the
Administrator to include a $1.00 per hour
rate for newly created parking spaces on
Pettee Brook Lane.

 

As
you will recall, the B. Dennis report
encouraged the Town to create more parking
options throughout the downtown business
district.  In the area of Pettee Brook
Lane, the reconfiguration to one lane
maintained the one-way traffic while adding
parking as well as a bike
lane. 

 

This
plan involved implementation in addition to
monthly reviews by the Traffic Safety
Committee continuously reviewing citizen and
staff critiques of the parking
configurations.  After multiple
adjustments and enhancements, the current
alignment has been in place for over six
months allowing a thorough assessment during
winter conditions, academic calendars, and
the ultimate realization of traffic calming
that has resulted in the absence of any
reported vehicular collisions since
implementation.

 

A
public hearing is scheduled for the Council
meeting on this Monday, May 16,
2011. 

 


WISWALL DAM FISH
LADDER INSTALLATION PROJECT -- SUMMER
2011

On Monday evening, May 16, 2011, the Town
Council will be asked to award the
construction contract for the Wiswall Dam
Repair and Fish Ladder Project to Reed &
Reed, Inc. of Woolwich, ME and authorize the
Administrator to sign the associated
documents.

 

Conditional
problems with the Wiswall Dam led to an
administrative order from the NH Department
of Environmental Services (NHDES) in January
2005 to address a list of deficiencies with
the Wiswall Dam.  Meanwhile, various
state and Federal agencies, river advocacy
groups, and the Town have been working toward
adding some form of fish passage capability
at the Wiswall Dam for as many as 25
years.

 

The
final decision to install a Denil fish ladder
and move forward with the much needed dam
repairs was ultimately made in September 2008
when the United States Department of
Agriculture’s Natural Resource
Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded the Town
a grant of $1,045,000 to install fish passage
facilities at the dam and help with the dam
repairs. The Town Council formally authorized
and accepted the expenditure of the grant
from NRCS for the design and construction of
fish passage facilities at the Wiswall Dam
and associated dam repairs and improvements.
The NRCS grant requires at least a 25 percent
match from the Town, and since the dam
repairs are integral with the fish ladder
installation, the Town can satisfy this match
by funding the repair portion of the project.
Additional funds have also been provided by
NRCS for to pay for a percentage of the
engineering.

 

The
construction project is intended to satisfy
all NHDES concerns associated with the
Administrative Order in addition to
constructing the long awaited fish passage
facilities.

 

The
primary components of the project include
replacement of the left abutment (looking
downstream) where the fish ladder is to be
constructed, installation of a downstream
fish migration notch near the right abutment,
miscellaneous repairs to the dam spillway,
raising the elevation of dikes at both
abutments, and preservation of the historic
and cultural resources at the
site. 

 

The
2005, 2006 and 2010 Capital Improvement
Budgets included appropriations for
engineering and repairs to the Wiswall
Dam.  The project construction contract
was prepared by the Public Works Engineering
Division with assistance from Stephens
Associates. Bids were opened on May 9, 2011
and Reed & Reed, Inc. was the low bidder
with a total price of $1,420,700.  The
other bids received were from New England
Infrastructure, Inc. ($2,163,600), Wyman
& Simpson, Inc. ($1,523,420), and R.M.
Piper, Inc. ($1,765,479).

 

This
will be a very beneficial project along the
Lamprey River and illustrates the
Town’s commitment toward being a good
steward of our natural
resources.

VOTER
CHECKLIST VERIFICATION PROCESS BEGINS - AN
UPDATE FROM THE SUPERVISORS OF THE
CHECKLIST

Every
10 years in the year ending with the number
1, the Supervisors of the Checklist in every
community in New Hampshire are required by
RSA 654:39 to verify their checklists. Any
person on the checklist who has not voted in
the last four years (unless they have
registered since November 2, 2010) will be
sent a letter informing them that their name
will be removed from the
checklist. Those removal letters will be
mailed out soon.

 

In
order to stay on the checklist, persons
receiving a removal notification letter may
re-register at the Town Hall until June 29,
2011.  After that date, the remaining
names will be removed permanently from the
checklist.  At that point, anyone
wishing to vote in Durham must re-register
either at the Town Hall or at any election,
just as if they are first-time voters in
Durham.  When re-registering,
prospective voters should bring proof of
identity and domicile.

 

Most
of the people who have not voted in four or
more years are UNH students who have moved
on.  Since the implementation of the
statewide voter checklist, the removal of
such students has become much more
thorough.  If a person moves to another
town and registers to vote within the State
of New Hampshire, that person is
automatically removed from Durham’s
checklist.  However, other states are
not as good as New Hampshire about informing
previous domiciles about a change in voter
status.  If your household receives a
letter from the town addressed to an adult
child who has moved away and registered to
vote elsewhere, or addressed to the previous
occupant of your home, please do not forward
the letter. Those persons whom the
supervisors have not heard from by June 29
will automatically be removed from the
checklist.

FROM “DURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE A HISTORY

1900-1985”

Business:
The college used Ben Thompson's homestead, at
the east corner of Main Street and Madbury
Road, as a dormitory for a few years and was
counseled by Ephraim Jenkins, a concerned
citizen, to 'take the Oyster River Tavern
[across from the Town Hall on Main Street and
Newmarket Road] under its protecting wings.'
He said the trustees should 'not run it
themselves but as an investment, and then -
for a certainty RUM would be forever
prohibited; as we know from the past, if any
individual owns it, it will have to be
watched with a shot gun to keep it
out.' Unfortunately, these two buildings
burned in 1896 and 1897, and it was left to
individual members of the faculty (hardly
'monied men') to finance several large
structures for use as student housing until
the college was able to build its own
dormitories." Published in
1985 by the Durham Historic
Association.

 

Have
a good weekend.
